It should obvious that it's too temporary to matter anyway but I suppose it isn't - maybe I should have put "temporary sequestration" in quotes since it was a cynical use of sequestration. The thing I linked to is effectively "greenwashing" since it's not actually a saving in hydrocarbon use to produce the industrial carbon dioxide. The new process may be better than that - a more efficient way to do it that actually saves on energy use, so not quite "greenwashing", but still it's not something you'd do to reduce carbon dioxide emissions since it's all going to get out eventually.
Really? Seriously? Honestly? Then have you ever heard of an eagle getting killed by a windmill any time in the last few hundred years? Be honest this time.
Also WTF is it with the utterly irrelevant link - distraction?
Wow, they'll even pretend they care about the environment if that's what it takes to make the opposing party look bad. Political tragics are so fucking ridiculous especially hard rightwingers. To them values and morality are nothing but talking points to be discarded when inconvenient.
Can we get onto something technical about the topic instead of stupid political games with astroturfing fake eagle lovers?
One problem (of many) is that politics got in the way and it became easier for Chinese companies to develop and sell the fruits of US research into solar and wind energy than US companies.
I understand that some people have philosophical objections - fine - but I haven't heard any of my colleagues complaining of actual instability or unreliability.
The initial implementation of systemd on CentOS 7 left a great deal to be desired. Whether it's Lennart's fault or someone else's it managed to piss a few people off - hence some of the (frequently shouted down) comments about systemd here.
Do you prefer handouts to employers that get almost free workers due to the charity of taxpayers to making sure that employers don't leech off taxpayers like you in that way? If so, why?
Not quite. We didn't have any poisonous amphibians so a state government decide to import some in the 1930s and their population exploded (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cane_toads_in_Australia).
The other aspect was support from the USA. The US was not interested in UK/Irish issues
They were interested but on the wrong side. Senator Peter King was very active and vocal in his support for the IRA and lobbied for US law enforcement to deny assistance to the UK. I've got no idea why he wasn't voted out after 9/11 or thrown out of the Republican Party entirely due to his history of supporting terrorists.
Should name the mushroom because some varieties are incredibly deadly. Those aren't the ones used for tripping though, more like the ones you read about in the news where yet another family cooked up some wild mushrooms they couldn't recognise and died.
Throwing a few little bits of metal into a turbine or propeller is likely to end very badly. While it's not going to do a great deal of initial damage a very small crack in a component under a lot of of stress can lengthen into a serious crack, sometimes very quickly, and result in a catastrophic failure. Bird strike has resulted in a few crashes. Drones have harder bits in them than birds and are going to cause more damage.

Yes, the first is only marginally practical since having falconers and birds of prey on staff is not going to scale, so a speargun/netgun approach as suggested makes more sense.
I like to know that the government is doing, and if they're saying that they're protecting public safety, they shouldn't mind telling us what they did and why.
We are in a brave new world where things happen like a reporter being pinned to the wall by two security guards at an FCC press conference of all things so that appears to be seen as far too much to ask for. And no, I'm not blaming Trump. It's these agencies taking advantage when government is rudderless that are to blame.
It's not a technology issue it's an issue of measuring metrics that are poor indicators of the metric that you are actually interested in. Increased accuracy in the wrong metric isn't going to help.
There's nothing wrong with using these devices as a rough indicator of the amount of activity, it's just that people expected (on the basis of advertising to an extent) that it would provide more than that.
A quick look at a map of where you've been is just as good as pedometer. Heart rate measurement is interesting but doesn't really tell you much on it's own apparently.
That may be a point for some, but there really are a few people who really are make seriously ill by gluten even if it's nowhere near the number of people who think they may have a problem. The current gluten-free craze is at least helping those people who are actually harmed by it and highlighting odd things like gluten in cornflakes. I have no problem with gluten but I'm a little annoyed that many cornflakes are full of cheap filler materials instead of being mostly corn. On the pesticide issue one example I've observed is that my mother thought that she had aquired an allergy to mangoes some time in the 1990s when she started eating commercially farmed ones after about fifty years of eating home grown ones. It took a while to work out that it was a certain pesticide.
Did this guy try to sell to Russians, because they pay more than the Chinese?
The FBI agent who offered to buy said he was working for the Russians, but it probably would have worked out the same if he said he was working for the Chinese. Creating the situation for a crime and then charging a patsy who jumped into the situation seems like a waste of time and a reduction of resources available to real law enforcement to me - but someone is probably going to get a promotion out of it so that's "mission accomplished".
Even as a engineering student that was not expected in the 1980s to do a lot of coding in the future I was expected to learn FORTRAN, Lisp, and Pascal at a minimum. If professional coders have not picked up a few very different types of coding I think they have failed in their training or education.
Danish and wanting to learn Mandarin. The difference between two dialects of one language and two languages is very often whether there's a national border involved
Now that's just getting silly. The analogy is incredibly badly broken beyond a trivially superficial level. It's many times easier for a Java programmer to pick up Forth than a European picking up an Asian language. They are only called programming languages because of a need to distinguish between different types and not due to any real resemblance with languages containing many thousands of words.
It was confirmed that the law it is alleged he has broken covers rape among other things - a little bit different. The actual allegations were not considered by the British court, only the Swedish law.
Ironically to try to take advantage of journalism "shield laws" when politicians in the US (eg. Hillary) starting making noise about taking action against him. From an article on Crikey.com by Guy Rundle:
Before the accusation, Assange had come to Sweden to base WikiLeaks there and take advantage of Sweden’s shield laws protecting whistleblowers. Such protection required a residency and work permit; the ongoing accusations made those impossible to obtain. There is no question that the US would have started to withhold intelligence from Sweden if Assange had gained those protections — withholding of intel is the US’ big stick, waved around repeatedly (for example, on the weekend of November 8 and 9, 1975, two days before Whitlam was sacked) — at a time when Sweden wanted to be closer in the US embrace. The intent is bare-faced, obvious. It worked in part, by dividing Assange’s supporters on the very sort of issues they care most about. In that respect, they need to support Julian Assange 100% in getting free passage to Ecuador, regardless of their opinion of his recent political choices, not from the other side, out of regard to his slightly exaggerated public persona, but simply because the last seven years have always been a stitch-up.

WTF?
You are not supposed to SMOKE the green stuff you are supposed to EAT it.
That kind of happened in the 1960s and 1970s and was called "the green revolution".
Here's one temporary sequestration example:

The American ones were hounded out of existence because wind power was seen to be on the wrong side of politics.
One problem (of many) is that politics got in the way and it became easier for Chinese companies to develop and sell the fruits of US research into solar and wind energy than US companies.

Unless you go to Australia where nearly every single variety of wild fungi that doesn't look weird is lethally poisonous if eaten.
Should name the mushroom because some varieties are incredibly deadly.

Indeed, it's kind of obvious but quantifying the difference was a different story.
Just like other different areas of mathematics but almost totally unlike other areas of linguistics.
